KEEPING UP WITH S4G NEWSLETTERS

Thank You For Making This #GivingTuesday a Success!

Amazing Tallahassee Women in STEM careers

At S4G's Giving Tuesday Gala several women in STEM careers were in attendance supporting our organization and mission. The gala, a family friendly event, featured many women in STEM, from the volunteers ranging from high schoolers, college graduates, professionals, and retirees. Attendees of the gala were treated informative speeches about the minorities, specifically women in various STEM fields. The keynote speaker, Roxanne Hughes, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Integrating Research and Learning at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab), specifically, highlighted the difference in the number of men and women in STEM fields, and how that gap has grown in recent years. These women are role models for our girls and we thank them for sharing their knowledge and experience with us.
